The story is set 6 years post 1971 Indo-Pak war, that culminated in the creation of Bangladesh. Despite winning the war, a large number of Indian Defence personnel have found themselves held captive in various jails in Pakistan and are faced with the fact that the Pakistani government denies their existence. International pressure has forced the Pakistani government to make changes in the way they treat the prisoners. In a very calculated move, the Pakistani army is ordered to assemble all the Indian prisoners of war in various Pakistani jails and transfer them to a secret location somewhere in the mountainous terrain of Pakistan. In the light of these events, Major Suraj Singh (Manoj Bajpyaee) along with Captain Jacob (Ravi Kishan), Captain Kabir(Kumud Mishra), Ft. Lt. Ram and Gurtu (Manav Kaul and Deepak Dobriyal) and Subedar Ahmad (Chittaranjan Giri) decide to escape the Pakistani POW establishment, in a daring attempt to reach India.

| User ReviewKarishma MThis movie was just outstanding. I feel so bad for the 54 refugees. I learned from this and I am really glad they made this movie. I'm sorry for all these people. I wish I could do something. |
| User ReviewPranav KBeautiful movie of the journey and bonding between comrades as they struggle to escape illegal post-war POW camps to return to India. Terrific screenplay, masterful direction, astounding cinematography, and amazing performances! Though the Pakistani army are the antagonists, the movie makes a good effort to not generalize the entire country's population by showing some citizens striving to end the illegal practice. |
| User ReviewSameer Ajust a wonderful film !!! a national award film got unrecognozable !!!!! a mjust see movie !!!!! |
| User ReviewAta AThis movie had a great feeling to it. As sad as it was for the division to have occured (p.s. pakistan give back the pow's you too india) this movie takes you on a journey through the trials and tribulations of several pows (whether muslim, seikh,hindu) who ban together with just one wish go back to india. Also cunning was the way the gov't tried to hide them. I was hoping for a happy ending where at least one POW would make it across and be recognized instead he is shot dead and returned to his captors. |
